Well it is kind bad hard to go file a grievance or go on strike against yourself...

The joint council offices and locals were union at the time.
Dave Beck's limo driver wasn't even a teamster. Hoffa drove himself
and did not have a driver. That guy ended up as a courier/messenger,
still not in a union.
Like I said it was always interesting to the workers there. OTOH they
actually had a better package than they were likely to get as union
members. The excuse often used was if some union was on strike, they
needed people in the office who could cross picket lines and they
certainly did not want the international office under threat of a
strike. I suspect the latter.
